  Thinking about how2pass? Read this!
Posted by: fultonium - 06-01-2009, 08:05 PM - Forum: Exam Experience - Replies (1)

Just wanted to give some feedback on my experience with how2pass and the test itself.

First let me say that I went through the Cisco Networking Academy: CCNA Exploration program and got A's in all four classes.  Not bragging, just trying to give an idea of prep work.  Spent about 2 weeks going through the book "31 Days to CCNA" (review book) while also taking how2pass practice tests (took 1-2 tests a day, each day).  Sat for the exam today and scored a 972.

For anyone thinking about shelling out for how2pass, the practice exam's were dead on in both content and difficulty.  The simlets, simulations and everything were super close to the actual exam.  Some of the questions were so close I barely had to read them, seriously!  Kudos to the staff at how2pass.

I just want to say again, if you want to know where you stand on preparedness for the exam, use how2pass.  I can't speak for other testing sites, but how2pass (at least for CCNA) is solid.  If you're knocking down their practice exams, you will do fine on the live one.

Thanks and good luck!!

  How2Pass vs. Actual CCNA (640-802)
Posted by: sringo - 05-28-2009, 03:54 PM - Forum: General - No Replies

So after about a month of self-study using only How2Pass I was able to pass the CCNA (640-802) with a score of 888.  No doubt more study time would have led to a higher score but I was under a time constraint at work.  I do think it only fair to mention that I have re-certified my CCNA 5 times now so I am not new to the material.  It is really more about learning the new test styles as Cisco likes to change them up every few years.  I would not recommend someone brand new to the CCNA experience attempt to study for only a month.

I will say that How2Pass simulates the actual exam fairly well, but not as well as it has in the past.  On the 640-802 the testlets/simlets and even some of the actual simulations are handled somewhat differently than how How2Pass presents them.  That was disorienting.

I had 2 simlets/testlets and 2 simulations.  I had the Switch and Frame-Relay testlets and the NAT and Basic Router Simulations.  The Switch and Frame-Relay testlets looked completely different then the way How2Pass presents them and the Frame-Relay answers were completely different on the actual exam.  The NAT simulation was presented exactly with only different addresses.  The basic router sim was delivered in the same format as the testlets but was exactly the same content as covered on How2Pass.

In closing I would highly recommend this site to anyone studying for the CCNA with the advise that this site should be used to develop concepts and understanding of the testing environment only.  Do not attempt to memorize the answer/question combinations or you might be in for a rude surprise come test time.

  planning for CCNA
Posted by: sunpala - 05-25-2009, 10:40 AM - Forum: Answer this question - Replies (1)

Hi
I am new to this forum, just registered today as I have plans to do CCNA course.
I have few questions before I do it. Can anyone help me please?
I work as a technical support agent in UK.
I have seen most of the employers asking for experienced CCNA guys. So, can it be really tough to find a job once you have done this course?
And, what about the jobs itself?

Please reply.


Thanks

  Passed 640-802 score:972
Posted by: griffinpet - 05-18-2009, 09:07 AM - Forum: Exam Experience - Replies (3)

I heavily recommend How2Pass not only because the practice tests felt very similar to the real exam but also because of the thorough explanations which enable you to fully understand where you went wrong.

  Passed BSCI 977
Posted by: baloo247 - 05-11-2009, 11:28 AM - Forum: CCNP ENARSI 300-410 Forum - No Replies

Woohoo. BCMSN and BSCI now complete.

Exam had 4 router simulations i think. EIGRP, OSPF, STUBBY AREAS x 2. There was a new one but basically asked you to setup the area so that only summary and connected route is present i.e. a eigrp stub area. All good.

there was some odd multicasting questions which threw me off a bit but all good in the end.

Very little on IPv6.

Basically if you know your stuff you should be sweet.

  Just passed ICND2 (second try)
Posted by: Jane - 05-09-2009, 03:33 AM - Forum: Exam Experience - No Replies

This was my second try this month and finally passed. I am CCNA certified. Both times I took the ICND2 test, I had OSPF. I also had the Identify Vlan and STP configuration on both tests. Make sure you go through those simulations really well. They will come up. I found the ICND2 test to be a lot harder than the ICND1. SUCCESS IS A GREAT FEELING!!! I WOULD NEVER BE CERTIFIED IF I DIDNT USE HOW2PASS!
